Scott Miller, of Game Theory and The Loud Family, passed away on Monday; I learned about it during the show tonight. The last two hours of this show are an impromptu tribute to his memory, and a celebration of the amazing music he left with us. You can read the post on loudfamily.com.

@EFD Is the original 7" version of Academy Fight Song available anywhere other than the original 7"? Support from all in Philly.

- strong set even if it wasn't timely & poignant.
- Go to efd for your Boston Set.
...I'd plunk for 'Fragmentary March of Green' by Ultimate Spinach - if it were that kinda Program & there was time...

Scott Miller was an absolute genius -- both his lyrics and music were astoundingly brilliant. I probably listened to either Alternate Learning, Game Theory, or Loud Family every day for the last 25 years. What sad day.

For years I had "Don't Respond, She Can Tell" in my head due to an Alias Records sampler that I lifted from my older brother when I was in high school. Only kind of recently did I come across a Loud Family CD in a used bin. Love that record, listened to it lots when I got it and for some time afterward. Sad to hear about Scott Miller's passing away.

- another example of FMU providing the missing Audio to things I only know from writing, hearsay, or album covers. Here - that enthusiasm is alloyed to regret.
- Condolences to his Fans & Loved Ones.

I just tuned in after reading the news on Twitter. I was obsessed with Game Theory for years... Scott was barely a month my senior too, I'm 53 a week from Friday. I can't believe this. Can't even cry yet.

Any chance you can find a copy of Good There Are No Lions in the Street? Either the Days for Days or From Ritual To Romance version?

and thanks so much for playing this music. it's comforting on a very difficult night. Nothing New sounds amazing right now. ... and yes, Inverness would be great to hear [the Aimee Mann / Scott version is lovely]

I would like to say that, as someone who wasn't so exposed to Scott Miller's music during his life, but was a great fan of what I'd heard, I'm at least grateful to hear this show and all these great songs. Clearly a brilliant songwriter.

if you can, The Red Baron, from Game Theory's Distortion of Glory

Any chance of going out upbeat, like Linus and Lucy, or Sleeping Through Heaven?

Scott Briggs:
Sorry to check in so late, I wrote to Sue Trowbridge to send condolences. I only know some Game Theory from my old college radio days etc. but I always liked what I heard. I need to really catch up. I intend to read Scott's book as well as soon as I can order a copy. Sorry to hear such awful news.

Scott Briggs:
P.S. meant to say thanks for playing all this Scott and other related music not a bad track in the bunch!! I just don't hear music like this on radio enough these days. Only some of the dudes on WFDU play any of the 80s bands anymore, besides WFMU.

thanks Evan.

Oh, this ending 1-2 punch of Red Baron & Regenisraen. Perfect, Evan. And then I'm going to play Like a Girl Jesus before I switch to Mary xo
